We wanted to share all of The Milk & Cookie Candle Company’s amazing Christmas and festive fragrances with you…
Nothing beats snuggling up with lots of blankets on a cold winter’s day and having fabulous candles and scents surrounding you. And don’t candles and wax goodies just make perfect Christmas presents?! I think a candle is so much nicer than a bottle of wine for a hostess gift, it’s just much more thoughtful and personal.

Take Me To The Sea

Apologies for the slight lack of articles, we’ve been crazy busy and needed a little break for some “me time” but we’re back and we’re gonna have heaps of features and reviews coming for you.

A little while ago my lovely boyfriend took me for a trip to the beach, it has been way too long since I had been and he knows how much I love the water, I was totally a mermaid in a past life. Since we got back I’ve been craving that ocean air and everything water related so I figure until I get a chance to go back to the beach I’ll just surround myself with beachy/oceany scented goodies.

I want ALL of these…

Sea Spray by Colonial Candle – Splash around in a crisp marine blend of sea grass, salty sea foam, and amber sand.
Yankee Candle’s Beach Walk – Refreshing salt water and sea musk warmed with sunny notes of tangerine and orange blossom.
Ocean Star – Soothing and fresh . . the scent of peaceful, sun-kissed waters laced with aloe, citrus, and lotus blossom. Dive in!
Sea Coral – Like gliding along a tropical reef, this unique watery fresh fragrance surrounds you in the soothing warmth of sea musk.
and Sun & Sand – A tropical beach breeze of sweet orange flower, lemony citrus, fresh lavender and powdery musk.
 Surf Beach from The Milk & Cookie Candle Company – Surf Beach Scented, Clean Ocean Scent with Bamboo and Teak and hints of Coconut.
Scentsy’s By The Sea – The scent of ocean air wafting through dewy, seaside grass.
Beach – Papaya and honeydew sweetened with a hint of coconut.
and Ocean – Cool and refreshing aquatic notes deepened with water lilies and ocean breezes.
Seaside Surf by Root Candles – The perfect impression of the sea. Rosemary combines with hearty florals of violet, jasmine and geranium in a cocktail that evokes the clean notes of a seaside spray. Warm throw boasts of cedar and amber musk subtleties.
Have you tried any of the above, let us know what you thought in a comment below.

Milk&Cookie Candle Company MASSIVE Tarts Review

When I got my order (see here) from The Milk&Cookie Candle Company, I saw that Trish had lovingly popped in a few extra goodies for me, made me so happy. She gave me four MASSIVE soy tarts…

Eco-Soy-Tarts

Cucumber&Aloe – I know y’all know I don’t like banana or lavender but one other scent (and food) I hate is cucumber, so I sorta panicked when I saw that Trish had sent me a Cucumber&Aloe scented tart, but honestly it was fabulous! The aloe really changed the scent and it made me feel like I was in a spa. It was light and refreshing and very uplifting. Highly recommend this scent.

Cinnamon Red Hots – I love cinnamon and I just adored this melt, it lasted days and days, I think maybe because cinnamon is just naturally a strong scent, but probably because it was so well made.

Luscious Lemon Poundcake – This was one of the first scents I ever tried from the M&C and I remember loving it but I genuinely forgot how delicious it smelled till I got it again. Tart lemon, sweet vanilla and buttery cakey yumminess, it’s heavenly.

Waffle Cone – Sooooo delicious, sweet and yummy! Smells like a classic cookie wafer made with creamy butter and vanilla swirled through it.

My bad for not taking pics as they were melting, but trust me they were all amazing and well made. Milk&Cookies candles have an unbelievable scent throw and they never cease to amaze me with all the unique scents and fabulous products.
